A pair of life coaches who dispensed advice to listeners on a radio show out of Brooklyn has committed double-suicide, reports the Daily News. Lynne Rosen, 46, and her longtime partner, John Littig, 48, hosted the monthly show The Pursuit of Happiness on WBAI-FM. They suffocated themselves using plastic bags and helium in their Park Slope apartment and left behind notes, say police. Based on those notes, cops think Rosen, a psychotherapist, had psychological problems and Littig couldn't stand to watch her suffer anymore. (Read more suicide stories.)

"Life coaches who dispensed advice" who "had psychological problems"? i hope their listeners never applied THEIR kind of advice...

I took a couple of psych courses in college. What I remember was that most of the people in those classes claimed to be there because they were interested in finding out why they were so screwed up. If that's the motivation for most going in the field, this news story is really not a surprise.
